Prepaid cards
Prepaid cards work a little differently to other types of plastic. Although you can use them to make purchases or withdraw cash in the same way as a debit or credit card, the key difference is that they need to be loaded up with cash in advance – and you can then only spend the balance on the card.
There are a number of benefits to using a prepaid card, so it pays to compare your options carefully and select the right one for your needs.
Advantages of prepaid cards
Prepaid cards usually fall into two categories – pay monthly and pay-as-you-go. Pay monthly prepaid cards charge a monthly fee, but in return you pay lower transaction fees than you would with a pay-as-you-go card, and often, you will also be given rewards or cashback on your spending.
Pay monthly prepaid cards are more suited to those who regularly spend on their card, while pay-as-you-go options are more suited to those who only make a handful of transactions on their card each month.
Because you can only spend the money you've pre-loaded onto your prepaid card, they are a great choice for those on a budget, for parents who want to keep an eye on their children's spending, or even for businesses.
But another benefit of prepaid cards is that they don't require a credit check and, as a result, they are easier to get hold of than credit or debit cards. This means they can be a good option for those with a poor credit score or no credit history at all. Some prepaid cards will also allow you to add a 'credit builder' service to your card which will help you to improve your credit rating.
What's more, certain prepaid cards can even be used as an alternative to a bank account, allowing your salary to be paid onto them.
Prepaid cards can also be a handy addition to your wallet if you're holidaying abroad. This is because a number of cards allow you to pre-load them with foreign currency and then side-step the expensive fees charged by many debit and credit cards for use overseas.
Disadvantages of prepaid cards
Prepaid cards can be riddled with fees, so it's important to read the small print carefully.
In particular, you should watch out for monthly fees, charges for loading funds onto your card, fees for withdrawing cash or spending on your plastic, and inactivity fees – which kick in if you don't use your card for a number of months.
Finally, unlike credit cards, prepaid cards are not covered under section 75 of the consumer credit act 1974. This protects credit card purchases between £100 and £30,000 against a retailer going bust, or your goods arriving faulty or damaged. This protection was extended up to £60,260 under the 2011 consumer credit directive.

Die rolle der SCHUFA bei der vergabe von kreditkarten
Die abkürzung SCHUFA steht für schutzgemeinschaft für allgemeine kreditsicherung. Diese auskunftei arbeitet mit mehr als 9.000 vertragspartnern wie versandhäusern, banken und telefonanbietern zusammen und speichert die namen und adressen von verbrauchern sowie daten über deren zahlungsmoral. Insgesamt sind rund 66 millionen bundesbürger bei der SCHUFA erfasst.
Will ein verbraucher einen kredit aufnehmen, ein bankkonto eröffnen oder einen handyvertrag abschließen, muss eingewilligt werden, dass die daten an die SCHUFA übermittelt werden. Von besonderem interesse sind dabei die sogenannten negativauskünfte, die zahlungsausfälle, einträge in schuldnerverzeichnisse und aufgekündigte kredite beinhalten. Daneben ermittelt die SCHUFA für jeden gemeldeten verbraucher einen score nach bestimmten algorithmen, der auskunft über die bonität gibt.
Bei einer kreditvergabe kann ein mittelmäßiger schufa-score schon die absage bedeuten. Neben den daten der SCHUFA sind für die vergabe einer kreditkarte noch weitere werte relevant. Wichtig ist zum beispiel ein regelmäßiger gehaltseingang und dessen höhe. So sichern sich die banken gegen zahlungsausfälle ab. Denn eine reguläre kreditkarte birgt immer ein gewisses risiko. Schließlich kann der verbraucher bis zum gewährten limit weltweit bargeld abheben oder einkäufe bezahlen. Dieses geld strecken die banken erst einmal vor. Daher muss gewährleistet sein, dass diese beträge zurückgezahlt werden.
Ein mittlerer bis schlechter schufa-score gibt den banken anlass zu der vermutung, dass es mit deiner rückzahlungsmoral hapert.
Eine prepaid kreditkarte gibt es oft auch schufafrei
Falls du eine schlechte schufa hast, bedeutet es trotzdem nicht, dass du auf eine kreditkarte verzichten musst. Denn die banken sind oft deutlich kulanter, wenn die kreditkarte keinen kreditrahmen benötigt. Die lösung heißt: prepaid kreditkarte. Bei diesem modell funktioniert alles auf guthabenbasis. Das bedeutet, du kannst nur so viel geld ausgeben, wie sich auf deiner karte befindet. Ist das guthaben aufgebraucht, überweist du wieder eine bestimmte summe auf das kreditkartenkonto. Das funktioniert entweder per überweisung, dauerauftrag, sofort-überweisung, bareinzahlung oder aufladebon. Sobald die karte benutzt wird, bucht die bank die entsprechende summe ab. Eine rechnung am monatsende oder ein splitting des angefallenen betrages erfolgt nicht.
Vorteil für kunde und bank: verbraucher geraten nicht in die schuldenfalle, die banken erhalten ihr geld. Da nicht mit fremdem geld gearbeitet wird, ist keine bonitätsprüfung erforderlich. Einen echten kredit hast du bei einer prepaid kreditkarte nicht, doch wird sie im alltag wie eine reguläre kreditkarte eingesetzt.
Du kannst eine prepaid kreditkarte zum online shopping, im supermarkt, an der tankstelle, im urlaub und zu bargeldabhebungen nutzen. Um beim antrag keine schwierigkeiten zu erleben, ist es wichtig, dass vorab einen vergleich der einzelnen karten durchführst. So sind einige karten mit einem girokonto verknüpft, für das wiederum eine schufa-abfrage durchgeführt wird. Manche anbieter setzen auf eine kreditkarte mit kontofunktion, was generell leichter zu finden ist als eine karte mit vollumfänglichem girokonto ohne schufa.
Sind prepaid kreditkarten überhaupt seriös?
Vielleicht ist dir schon aufgefallen, dass anbieter der prepaid kreditkarte mit slogans wie „für alle“ oder „garantiert ohne schufa“ arbeiten und du fragst dich, ob solche kreditkarten seriös sind. Zudem behaupten manche immer noch, solche karten seien nur für verbraucher, die sonst keine kreditkarte bekommen. Dabei sind die ganzen vorurteile unberechtigt. Längst hat sich die prepaid kreditkarte als sichere – und wenn bestimmte kostenfallen beachtet werden – sowie günstige alternative zu einer konventionellen kreditkarte etabliert. Denn zur zielgruppe gehören keineswegs nur verbraucher, die eine schlechte bonität besitzen. Da für eine kreditkarte auf guthabenbasis kein einkommensnachweis erforderlich ist, sind diese karten für freiberufler, selbständige, studenten und alle, die ihre ausgaben genau kontrollieren möchten, interessant.
Eine prepaid kreditkarte kommt als zweitkarte infrage, die im urlaub eingesetzt wird. Das guthaben-system schützt weitestgehend vor missbrauch und betrug, da nicht mehr als die auf der karte aufgeladene summe verwendet werden kann. Eine kreditkarte mit verfügungslimit bietet sich ebenfalls für jugendliche an, wenn es auf klassenfahrt ins ausland geht.
Bei der kreditkarte auf guthabenbasis handelt es sich um eine visacard oder mastercard, was weltweite akzeptanz. Wenn du ein auto mietest, musst du vorher darauf achten, dass sich genug guthaben auf der karte befindet, damit der vermieter die kaution blocken kann. Trotzdem halten sich immer noch hartnäckig gerüchte, dass die prepaid kreditkarte von autoverleihern abgelehnt wird, weil sie nicht hochgeprägt ist. Das ist jedoch nicht der fall. Probleme gibt es nur, wenn das guthaben zu knapp kalkuliert wurde.
Eine kreditkarte auf guthabenbasis muss nicht teuer sein. Einige banken bieten sie sogar ohne jahresgebühr an, andere verlangen höhere gebühren als bei einer konventionellen kreditkarte. Da liegt daran, dass eine prepaid karte im schnitt weniger umsatz macht und die banken niedrigere gewinne mit sollzinsen erwarten. Seit einiger zeit geht der trend jedoch dazu, eine prepaid kreditkarte für eine jahresgebühr von etwa 20 euro anzubieten, manchmal sogar mit kontofunktion.
Vor-und nachteile einer prepaid kreditkarte ohne schufa
Vorteile:
- Bei antrag keine SCHUFA-abfrage
- Keine hausinternen bonitätsprüfungen
- Kein einkommensnachweis erforderlich
- Kann trotz negativer schufa ausgestellt werden
- Kann auch von erwerbslosen, hausfrauen, studenten und schülern beantragt werden
- Für minderjährige möglich
- Kontofunktion oft integriert
- Weltweite akzeptanz
- Viele anbieter bieten eine bestimmte anzahl kostenloser geldabhebungen weltweit an
- Jederzeit absolute kontrolle der ausgaben
Nachteile:
- Unter umständen entstehen höhere kosten als bei einer regulären kreditkarte
- Manche karten haben ein stark begrenztes abhebelimit
- Nur in seltenen fällen mit girokonto
- Nur wenige anbieter stellen eine partnerkarte aus
- Ohne jahresgebühr nur bei sehr wenigen anbietern
Wie kann ich eine schufafrei kreditkarte beantragen?
Wenn du im prepaid kreditkarte vergleich die für dich beste prepaid kreditkarte gefunden hast, kannst du diese direkt auf der homepage des anbieters beantragen. Du füllst ein formular mit deinen persönlichen angaben aus, gibst deinen gültigen erstwohnsitz an und lässt dich vom system durch den bestellvorgang navigieren.
Je nach anbieter wird die prepaid kreditkarte innerhalb von 24 stunden versendet, was praktisch ist, wenn du im urlaub bargeldlos zahlen möchtest. Sobald die karte bei dir eintrifft, kannst du ganz einfach guthaben aufladen und sie nach erfolgter gutschrift sofort benutzen.
Gibt es eine reguläre kreditkarte ohne bonitätsauskunft?
Bei einer regulären kreditkarte streckt die bank dir die ausgegebene summe erst einmal vor. Daher will sie sich natürlich absichern, dass sie dieses geld auch wiedersieht. Aus diesem grund gibt es aktuell keine normale kreditkarte ohne bonitätsprüfung.
Kann ich mehrere kreditkarten auf guthabenbasis haben?
Das stellt in der regel kein problem dar. Achte nur darauf, ob bei nichtnutzung zusätzliche gebühren anfallen.
Zusammenfassung
Die unterschiede der einzelnen prepaid kreditkarten ohne SCHUFA liegen im detail. Daher solltest du dir zunächst darüber klar werden, in welchem zusammenhang du die karte einsetzen wirst. Während der eine anbieter eher online-shopper anspricht, ist die kreditkarte auf guthabenbasis bei einem anderen interessant, wenn du viel im ausland unterwegs bist.

Comparing prepaid card offers
A prepaid card is a great tool for someone who needs a little help budgeting, doesn’t have the best of credit or prefers the convenience of not always pulling out cash. But they aren’t the same as credit cards and they don’t enjoy credit cards’ greatest advantage – the ability to help build your credit. That said, there are plenty of good reasons to get a prepaid card. Here we look at:
We look at who can benefit from a prepaid card, how they work and what they aren’t.
What is a prepaid card and how does it work?
Prepaid cards are among the fastest growing financial products on the market. General-purpose, reloadable prepaid cards have grown from a $1 billion purchase volume in 2003 to an expected $352 billion by 2023.
Yet, as popular as they are, there is a ton of misunderstanding about them. For example, there is no such thing as a prepaid credit card. In fact, they are opposites. Here we take a look at some common features of prepaid cards and how they compare to other card types.
What are the different types of cards?
Here are the 4 main types of cards you’ll encounter when looking for a financial card, along with how they work and what makes them unique.
What is a prepaid card?
A prepaid card, also called a pay-as-you-go card, is a product that only lets you spend money you’ve loaded onto it in advance. Instead of borrowing money from a bank that you must pay back later (as with a credit card), you are spending your own preloaded money. One of the conveniences of prepaid cards is that they are available almost anywhere, from grocery stores to gas stations, and you can use them anywhere their payment network (such as visa or mastercard) is accepted.
Here are some of the most common types prepaid cards:
- General-purpose reloadable cards
- Gift cards
- Retail cards
- Transit cards
- Health savings account cards
- Payroll cards
- Government benefit cards
How does a prepaid card work?
Using prepaid cards is very simple. You just need to load the amount of money you want to have available for purchases onto the card; then, as you use the card, keep an eye on your balance to be sure it will cover the purchases you want to make. For example, if you load a prepaid card with $100 and buy something for $20, you’ll have a balance of $80 left to spend on your prepaid card. If the balance on your prepaid card reaches $0, or if you want to make a purchase that exceeds the card’s current balance, you must add more money or (in some cases, like with a gift card) cover the difference with another form of payment.
What is a debit card?
A debit card is issued by a bank and linked to a checking or savings account. Each time you use a debit card, you are transferring money electronically from your bank account to pay for your purchase, reducing your bank account balance. You can also use a debit card to withdraw cash from your account via an ATM. A debit card may not have the protections of credit or charge cards, although some financial institutions place protections on their debit cards, and debit cards can have federal deposit insurance through the bank.
Debit cards are a big industry. Wells fargo dominates the industry, with more than 50 other issuers competing in the market.
Here are the top 5 in purchase volume, according to nilson’s april 2019 report:
- Wells fargo
- 11.5%
- Bank of america
- 11%
- Chase
- 10.7%
- PNC
- 2.5%
- U.S. Bank
- 2.4%

Debit cards pull money out of your bank account to cover your purchases, so you’ll need to keep an eye on the balance of the account linked to your card to ensure you’re not spending more money than you have. If you overcharge, your card may be declined or, if you’re not opted into overdraft protection, your bank may charge you overdraft fees to cover the purchase. Debit cards also usually have daily spending limits, so you may not be able to make especially large purchases with a debit card.
What are the differences between a debit card and a prepaid card?
Unlike a debit card, a prepaid card is not linked to a bank account. This means that instead of drawing money out of your account with each purchase, you are drawing from a balance preloaded onto your prepaid card. With a prepaid card, even if you have thousands of dollars in your bank account, you can be limited to the amount preloaded on your card. In contrast, a debit card draws money directly from your account to pay for purchases, so you do not need to preload it with cash.
What is a credit card?
A credit card is a lending product that allows you to borrow money from a bank to cover your purchases. Unlike with debit and prepaid cards, when you use a credit card to buy something you are using the bank’s money, not your own. You then pay back the money you’ve borrowed by the due date or pay a minimum with the understanding that you’ll pay interest on the balance in exchange for carrying the debt from month to month.
There are several types of credit cards, and many let you earn rewards on your spending and build or repair your credit history:
- Travel cards
- Travel cards
- Cashback cards
- Business cards
- Balance transfer cards
- Luxury cards
- Secured cards and other credit-builder cards
How does a credit card work?
When you’re approved for a credit card, you’re given a set credit limit and can borrow up to that amount to cover your purchases (or, in some cases, balance transfers and cash advances). You’ll get a bill listing what you’ve purchased and what you owe, and you must pay back at least the specified minimum by the due date. If you don’t pay on time, you may be charged fees and damage your credit score. If you don’t pay off your full balance, you’ll be charged interest on whatever you still owe.
What is a charge card?
A charge card is very similar to a credit card, with a few key differences. As with a credit card, a charge card allows you to borrow money from an issuing bank to cover the purchases you make. The main difference is that a charge card requires you to pay your balance in full each month to avoid a penalty. Unlike credit cards, charge cards have no preset spending limit or APR. These cards tend to have excellent rewards and benefits and are primarily offered by american express.
How does a charge card work?
You can use a charge card just like a credit card, but carrying any sort of balance is not an option. Because of this, charge cards are not usually useful as financing tools. Additionally, because charge cards have no preset credit limit, they don’t factor into your credit utilization.
Are prepaid cards safe?
Prepaid cards are not credit cards, but they still have protections. Prepaid cards in a payment network such as mastercard or visa might enjoy zero liability protections, as in the case of the gloss prepaid visa rushcard.
The new rule will also allow you to access your account on line, like a bank account or credit card. You’ll also have greater protection from loss, theft or incorrect charges, according to CFPB.
Is a prepaid card a bank account?
No. A prepaid card is a standalone financial product that you load with money, then it eventually runs out of money unless you reload more. A bank account’s card is called a debit card – it operates in a similar way, but it is tied to the account’s funds. Neither is a credit card, which basically provides short-term loans to the cardholder.
A prepaid card can have similar features to a bank account, however. For example, you can use it to deposit your paycheck or auto-debit bills. This is because routing and account numbers can be assigned to the card.
Neither a prepaid card nor a debit card can be used to build credit, while you can build credit with a credit card. If your credit isn’t its best, try taking out a secured credit card for credit-building. Just make sure the card issuer will notify the 3 major credit bureaus of your credit habits.
Who should use a prepaid card?
Prepaid cards are increasingly popular, with the number of U.S. Adults who used these products at least once a month increasing by 50% from 2012 to 2014, according to a 2015 pew trusts study.
But who should use a prepaid card? You might embrace them because you can’t land a checking account. Or perhaps you appreciate the convenience. One thing we know – consumers typically choose prepaid cards to control spending, control fees or make purchases.
“A prepaid card may be a particularly good choice for a high schooler or college student,” says creditcards.Com industry analyst ted rossman. “A parent could load money onto one of these cards to provide their child with spending money and ease him/her into the process of paying with plastic before transitioning to a ‘real’ credit card. Prepaid cards are also useful for people who are afraid of debt. Be wary of fees, though, and note that you won’t build a credit history or earn too many rewards with a prepaid card.”
Prepaid vs. Credit card
Figuring out whether your card is prepaid or credit can be confusing because both can have network symbols on the front of the card, such as american express, visa or mastercard. But they are very different.
A credit card is a lending product. With a credit card, you charge a purchase, then you can pay it back in full by the due date and avoid paying interest charges. Alternatively, you can carry the balance to the next month and pay interest. The going APR for credit cards vary depending on the type of card, but the average is 16.65%.
A prepaid card uses your money to pay for purchases. You load the card with the amount you want, then use the card as you would use a credit card, presenting the card at the register. The difference is you don’t pay interest fees because you are using your own money – you aren’t borrowing. However, prepaid cards can have fees for signature purchase transaction fees, PIN purchase transaction fees and foreign transaction surcharges. That said, prepaid cards can have features such as the ability to get text messages or email alerts with the blue netspend visa prepaid card.
Advantages to credit cards are that you can use them to build credit, and you can use them to borrow money. Prepaid cards are helpful when you have had difficulty with credit or you don’t want a checking or savings account.
Pros and cons of prepaid cards
While prepaid cards are great for keeping track of your money and avoiding bank accounts or interest charges, they don’t help with building credit and they can have sizeable fees. Here are the pluses and minuses of prepaid cards:
Pros of prepaid cards
- You don’t need a banking account. Unlike a debit card, which is tied to a checking or savings account, your prepaid card stands alone with its own cash.
- Can be used for all manner of spending. If an open-loop card, which means it’s linked to a network such as visa or mastercard, then the card can be used at retailers that accept that network.
- Direct-deposit your paycheck. If the card has its own account number and routing number, you can direct deposit and auto debit through your prepaid card without a bank account.
Card | direct deposit features |
---|---|
walmart moneycard mastercard | access money up to 2 days early with direct deposit |
netspend prepaid mastercard | with direct deposit, you can get paid faster than a paper check |
control prepaid mastercard | get your tax refund direct deposited and no waiting in line to cash your check |
- Manage your money. “most prepaid cards won’t allow you to spend more than the balance of the card,” says mike clark, co-owner of B&C media LLC. “if you attempt to, the transaction will just be denied. So, prepaid cards impose a type of financial discipline – to spend only what you have. Credit cards, on the other hand, allow you to spend more than what you have. For some, the temptation is too great. That’s why 65% of credit card users carry a credit card balance. Those users not only spend beyond their means but also finance their over-spending with high-interest debt.”
- It’s protected. If it is linked to a network, you’ll enjoy zero liability protections. And if you report the loss or theft of a registered card to the issuer, most will restore your original balance and issue a new card.
- No interest. Unlike a credit card, you won’t be charged an interest fee because you are using your own money.
- No credit check. A bank is not checking your credit, which can slightly impact your score.
- Can’t overdraw. There are no overdraft fees.
- Personal information is safe. Your personal information isn’t tied to a prepaid card.
Cons of prepaid cards
- Fees. Some prepaid cards charge fees. “fees typically include a monthly fee, cash load fees, and sometimes ATM fees,” says clark. “for a credit card user that always pays her full monthly balance, a prepaid card will always be the more expensive choice. The same is true of checking account debit cards if the consumer qualifies for a free checking account and doesn’t overdraw his or her account.”
- Can’t build credit. Unlike secured credit cards or other credit-building cards, prepaid cards don’t help you build credit, says jeff white, senior financial analyst for fitsmallbusiness.Com. However, “you can build credit through a credit card, and if you pay it off each month, then you’re not being charged any interest.”
- Can run out of money. If you don’t pay attention to how much money you have on your card, you can wind up unable to pay at the counter.
- Fewer protections. “prepaid cards do not offer as many legal protections to consumers as traditional debit or credit cards,” says monica eaton-cardone, co-founder and COO of chargebacks911. “for example, let’s assume the cardholder needs to dispute a fraudulent or mistaken charge on her prepaid card. While many card issuers will still allow customers to dispute charges, the consumer doesn’t have a guaranteed legal right like she would with a conventional credit or debit card. Thus, the consumer takes on a greater share of fraud liability when using a prepaid card.”
What to look out for with prepaid cards
With all the advantages of prepaid cards, there are a few things to watch out for, including how it works and its features. For example, they actually have some protections and they can be used widely, yet they don’t work like a credit card. Here are 7 things to pay attention to:
- It’s not a credit card. A prepaid card is more like a debit card – once you’ve spent the money on the card, you’re done, unless you reload the card with more funds. With a credit card, you are borrowing money that you will pay back later.
- It’s not tied to a bank account. Unlike a debit card, a prepaid card isn’t tied to a checking or savings account. However, it can have routing and account numbers that you can use to auto-debit or deposit funds.
- A prepaid card has protections. Although it’s not a credit card, as part of a payment network, it has some protections similar to a credit card.
- You can buy it at a variety of places. From grocery stores to minute markets, there are a variety of locations where you can buy a prepaid card. Simply load it with the amount of cash you want, and you’re ready to go!
- It can be used for budgeting. You can load it for a specific type or purchase, such as groceries. Then, when your card runs out of money, you simply stop spending on that item.
- Watch out for fees. There are sometimes surprise fees in a prepaid card, so beware.
- You can’t build credit with a prepaid card. For that, you’ll need a credit card. Start with a secured credit card or an unsecured card for someone with bad or no credit.

Die net+ prepaid mastercard im test
Unser redaktioneller test zur neteller net+ prepaid mastercard
Kartenantrag
„erstellen sie ein eigenes konto, es dauert weniger als eine minute.“ mit diesem versprechen wirbt neteller. Aber: um das konto anschließend auch nutzen und eine net+ prepaid mastercard beantragen zu können, benötigt man dann doch ein paar minuten mehr und sollte sich vor allem punkt für punkt an die vorgaben von neteller halten.
Der antrag für das kostenlose neteller konto ist tatsächlich binnen kürzester zeit erledigt. E-mail-adresse, geburtsdaten, name, anschrift, kontaktmöglichkeiten und fertig – mehr daten müssen zu diesem zeitpunkt noch nicht hinterlegt werden. Danach wird es dann etwas komplizierter. Denn das konto muss bestätigt werden, um die net+ prepaid kreditkarte bestellen zu können.
Neteller weist direkt nach dem ersten login (per E-mail-adresse und passwort) darauf hin, dass man sich legitimieren muss. Per klick auf den hinweis gelangt man auf eine seite, die den vorgang schritt für schritt erklärt. Zum einen muss das konto aufgeladen werden. Dazu stehen gleich mehrere optionen zur wahl. Zum anderen verlangt neteller, dass sicherheitsfragen erstellt werden.
Legitimation per dokumentenupload
Die eigentliche legitimation erfolgt dann per upload der ausweisdokumente. Dazu ist eine webcam zwingend erforderlich. Falls der computer keine webcam hat, muss die neteller-app heruntergeladen werden, damit die identifizierung über das smartphone erfolgen kann. Danach aktiviert man die webcam, damit sie lichtbilder vom identitätsdokument aufnehmen kann. Dabei wird automatisch die bildqualität geprüft. Außerdem muss die postadresse verifiziert werden. Dies passiert über die standortermittlung im web browser. Erst dann ist es möglich, die net+ prepaid mastercard zu ordern. Der versand kostet 10,00 euro. Für die karte selbst werden jährlich 0,00 € berechnet.
Onlinebanking
Neteller geht den modernen weg. Das gilt nicht nur für die net+ prepaid mastercard, sondern auch für das onlinebanking. Die startseite listet alle informationen rund um den account auf. Über das menü lassen sich dann die einzelnen bereiche aufrufen, wie etwa die einstellungen oder der kontakt zum support. Für die kreditkarte gibt es einen eigenen menüpunkt.
Über das online-tool von neteller kann problemlos geld gesendet und empfangen werden. Die umsätze lassen sich später jederzeit wieder aufrufen und kontrollieren. Möglich ist das auch über die neteller applikation. Mit ihr lassen sich alle wichtigen funktionen rund um das neteller konto ausführen – wobei der schwerpunkt ganz klar auf dem geldtransfer liegt. Die empfänger müssen zu dem zeitpunkt übrigens nicht selbst kunde von neteller sein.
Zahlungsverkehr
Die net+ prepaid mastercard bietet nahezu den vollen funktionsumfang einer modernen kreditkarte. Worauf man derzeit noch verzichten muss, ist das bezahlen per funk, da die nötige NFC-technik (near field communication) nicht implementiert ist. Ansonsten gibt es weltweit rund 35 millionen akzeptanzstellen, an denen man mit der net+ prepaid mastercard bezahlen kann – hier sind jedoch teilweise einschränkungen möglich, weil die kreditkarte auf dem guthabenprinzip basiert. Das gilt zum beispiel für autovermietungen.
Zahlungen mit der karte sind in euro bzw. Der gewählten kontowährung kostenfrei. Sobald eine währungsumrechnung erfolgt, verlangt neteller eine sogenannte devisengebühr in höhe von 3.99 prozent. Das ist ein vergleichsweise hohes auslandseinsatzentgelt. Bargeldabhebungen am automaten werden mit 1.75 prozent berechnet. Das limit beträgt hierbei 900.00 euro und zehn abhebungen alle 24 stunden. Für einkäufe liegt die obergrenze bei 2.700 euro und 50 vorgänge alle 24 stunden.
Zahlungsziel
Ein zinsfreies zahlungsziel muss bei der net+ mastercard nicht beachtet werden. Da es eine prepaid kreditkarte ist, werden die zahlungen und abhebungen direkt über das karten- bzw. Neteller-konto abgerechnet. Heißt: es wird kein kredit eingeräumt und keine ratenzahlung angeboten.
Zinsen
Auf dem kostenlosen konto von neteller werden keine habenzinsen gutgeschrieben. Sollzinsen gibt es auch nicht, da es sich um eine prepaid kreditkarte handelt.
Sicherheit / einlagensicherung
Bei der sicherheit kompromisse eingehen zu müssen, ist immer mit einem gewissen risiko verbunden. Dessen muss man sich bei der net+ prepaid mastercard bewusst sein. Denn leider bietet die kreditkarte nicht alle sicherheitsoptionen, die heute möglich sind. Was fehlt, sind das 3D-secure-verfahren, mit dem sich onlineeinkäufe zusätzlich absichern lassen, und transaktions-benachrichtigungen per SMS oder E-mail. Auch auf eine einlagensicherung muss man verzichten. Das kapital wird stattdessen auf treuhandkonten verwahrt.
Ansonsten bietet neteller eine durchaus solide und sichere prepaid kreditkarte. Sie ist hoch geprägt – das gilt für den namen und die kartennummer – und hat einen card validation code (CVC). Der sicherheitschip ist für kreditkarten längst obligatorisch. Er verhindert, dass diebe oder betrüger die kartendaten auslesen und kopieren.
Kommt es zu buchungen, die nicht nachvollziehbar sind oder gleich als betrügerisch erkannt werden, muss man sich mit neteller in verbindung setzen. Hierfür steht ein E-mail-support-formular zur verfügung. Bei verlust oder diebstahl der karte kann man über das onlinebanking eine neue karte ordern. Um auf nummer sichern zu gehen, sollte auch gleich der support informiert und die karte explizit gesperrt werden, telefon +44 20 7526 9219. Die haftung des kunden ist in dem fall auf die ersten 35 britischen pfund bzw. Die äquivalente summe der kontowährung begrenzt.
Bonus, rabatt, cashback
Für neteller kunden gibt es ein eigenes bonusprogramm, mit dem man punkte sammelt, die später gegen geld eingelöst werden können. Die bonus- bzw. Promo-aktionen konzentrieren sich allerdings auf sehr spezielle bereiche wie online-casinos, die zusätzliches guthaben oder freispiele einräumen, forex und kryptowährungen.
Darüber hinaus kann man sich als neteller VIP einige boni erarbeiten. Das VIP-programm basiert auf den umsätzen und umfasst fünf level: bronze, silver, gold, platinum und diamond. Vorteile ergeben sich für vips bei den limits für barverfügungen, den währungsumrechnungsgebühren und der zahl der währungskonten. Ab dem silber-status gibt es die net+ prepaid mastercard zudem kostenlos – auch die versand- und bearbeitungsgebühren entfallen.
Versicherungsleistungen
Neteller bietet seinen kunden mit der net+ prepaid mastercard keine versicherungsleistungen an – weder inklusive noch optional.
Gesamtfazit
Sie hat durchaus etwas für sich, die net+ prepaid mastercard. Mit acht euro pro jahr gehört sie zu den günstigeren offerten am markt. Auch die versand- und bearbeitungsgebühren halten sich in grenzen. Was bitter aufstößt, sind die hohen kosten für währungsumrechnungen. Mit 3.99 prozent ist das auslandseinsatzentgelt fast doppelt so hoch wie bei anderen kreditkarten.
Worauf man ebenfalls achten muss, sind die gebühren für einzahlungen auf das neteller konto. Es gibt zwar sehr viele möglichkeiten, guthaben aufzuladen, über das man später mit der mastercard kreditkarte verfügen kann. Doch die meisten sind kostenpflichtig. Immerhin: banküberweisungen auf das konto sind kostenlos möglich.
Berücksichtigt man darüber hinaus die leichten mängel beim thema sicherheit, ist die net+ kreditkarte zwar nach wie vor gut, hat aber kein „sehr gut“ verdient. Übrigens: wer keine plastikkarte benötigt, kann ganz einfach eine virtuelle kreditkarte beantragen. Die ist dann kostenlos.
